BINDER TWINE FOR 1943 


The Canadian government hopes 


| there will be-enough binder twine to 


take care of this year’s grain crop. 


| Some 60 million pounds of twine will 


be manufactured, which is enough for 
a normal crop, but not for an abnor- 
mal one, 

In peace time binder twine was 
made from Javanese and African hard 
fibre, Now the supplies of such ma- 
terials which are 
reserved for the navy and the mer- 
chant marine, The new war grade 
binder twine will be made from Mexi- 
can fibre some of which may contain 
cotton, The government is asking Ca- 
nadian farmers to use their binder 
twine carefully this year and make 
sure that their machinery is in good 
condition so that it will cut the 
threads cleanly and without waste.

THE WORLD OF WHEAT 
REVIEWED WEEKLY BY 
MAJOR H.G.L. STRANGE 


WORLD LACKS FOOD 


The United Nations Conference of 
43 nations has just concluded its in- 
vestigations at Hot Springs, Virginia, 
They find: 

1, That there is and will be for 
long to come a scarcity of food in the 
world, 

2. That while it is desirable to im- 
prove the nutrition of the people of 
the world a much more important 
goal for future years is to bring about 
freedom from sheer hunger from 
which millions of people have always 
suffered, 

83. That there are no real surpluses 
of foodstuffs in the world, 

4, That production of food must be 
greatly increased in the future, 

5. That surplus foodstuffs available 
in any country must quickly be made 
available to the hungry people of 
other countries, 

6, That to bring about a better dis- 
tribution of foodstuffs, the Conference 
went on record as opposing tariffs 
artificial barriers to inter- 
national trade, 

This is all splendid news for 
| prairie farmers, for it indicates a re- 
turn to sound economic and humani- 
the govern- 
ments of the world, and most of the 
abandoned during the 
years, 

There will undoubtedly be much op- 
position to these recommendations. 
Certain interests will still desire to 
have many kinds of goods made un- 
economically in the United States and 
}Canada behind tariff walls, Farmers 
| and all of us, therefore, 
our Canadian Government to]

| BRINGING ALL CROPS 
ALONG RAPIDLY NOW 


weather of 


The fine the past ten 
days has be-n a large factor in pro 
moting growth of grain crops in this 


district, and wheat is now in the shot 
blade on some farms, and while later 
than usual, there is plenty of mois 


ture to carry the crop along, 
Summerfallowing is now being done 

and fields are gradually being clearcd 

of weeds, which gained such a start 


due to the wet weather in June, 

The following is the last crop re- 
!port issued by the Alberta Wheat 
Pool: 


Grain crops in Southern Alberta are 
in a precarious condition due to con- 
tinued dry weather, Temperature has 
been moderate, but high winds accel- 
lerated evaporation of moisture and 
contributed considerably to a sharp 
decline in condition, There are some 
local exceptions as sporadic showers 
brought temporary relief to a few 
scattered localities, Moisture is ade- 
quate and crops are in a healthy con- 
dition in the district south of Leth- 
bridge near the international bound- 
ary, and also in the Calgary area, but 
over the major portion of the south, 
soaking rains are urgently needed. 

In central and northern Alberta 
moisture ranges from sufficient to ex- 
cessive, In many places water is still 
standing in low spots in the fields, 
The only exception is the north-east- 
ern part of the Peace River district 
where additional moisture will be 
needed soon, Crops are in a healthy 
condition but the season is very late 
and warm dry weather is needed to 
advance development,

RATIONS FOR GIRLS OF C.W.A.C, 


The girls in the C.W.A.C, are well 
fed, as indicated by the following list 
of food provided by the Service: 

The girls are issued exactly the 
same rations as the men, Some of 
the rations issued are: 9 oz, beef per 
day per person; 2 oz. bacon or salt 
pork; eggs; 1% oz, butter; % oz, 
cheese, which is generally saved up 
and used in cooking or only served 
once or twice a week; 15 oz, milk for 
both drinking and cooking; 12 oz, of 
bread, or in lieu of bread a ration of 
flour and baking powder may be ord- 
ered; 14 oz, potatoes; 6 oz, canned 
tomatoes; 1 issue oranges per week; 
2 issues of 5 oz. each grapefruit juice 
per week; 5 oz, apple juice per week; 
5 oz, tomato juice per week; 1 3-4 
oz. sugar per day for all purposes; 
1% oz, per day rolled oats or other 
cereals; 2 oz, jam per day, with 8 
varieties to choose from; 4 oz, of 
coffee per day; 3-16 oz, tea per day. 

This is not by any means a com- 
plete list. In addition, of course, root 
vegetables, apples an so on are is- 
sued; and in nearly all cases there is 
an alternative ration for the sake of 
variety, Celery, head lettuce, radishes 
| pickles and so on are purchased out 
of canteen funds, If ice is needed it 
as required, 


| is available 


| lower tariffs so as to permit the free 
flow of foodstuffs, goods and commo- 
dities throughout the world,

Canada's Growing Navy 


THERE HAS BEEN wide spread interest in the addition to the Cana- 
dian Navy of four escort destroyers, a gift of the United Kingdom. Our} 
navy has undertaken to protect the western half of the North Atlantic con 
voy routes, and these ships will be of great assistance in carrying out this! 
task. They will be appreciated by Canadians not only for their very great | 
usefulness at this time, but also as a further sign of Britain's desire to| 
support the Dominions in all possible ways. It is also an acknowledgment | 
of the confidence of the British government that the officers and ratings | 
of the Canadian Navy will use these ships effectively in the war against 
the powerful U-boat menace. Named after four Canadian rivers: the Sas- 
katchewan, the Kootenay, the Ottawa and the Gatineau, there is no doubt | 
but that these ships will give valiant service in protecting supplies and 


war materials bound for Britain.

. The growth of Canada’s naval power since the 
Canadian Navy beginning of the war has been amazing, and it 
. represents an achievement of which we may be 

Is Expanding very proud. At the beginning of the war, Can 
personnel was 1,700, which is less than the number of 
men required for one battleship. Today, there are 60,000 men in the navy, 
and Naval Minister Macdonald recently announced that by next year this 
number would be increased to 90,000, which will make it equal, on the basis 
of manpower, to the pre-war strength of the Royal Navy. The number of 
ships has also increased rapidly, and at present the Canadian Navy has 
over five hundred fighting craft, including destroyers, corvettes, submarine | 
chasers, mine sweepers and other vessels. It is believed that two more | 
British destroyers may be added to the four which have already been given | 
to us, and it is also believed that Canada will shortly build several aircraft | 


ada’s total naval 


carriers,

In guarding the western half of the North Atlantic 
On Guard In convoy routes the Canadian Navy has assumed a 
* difficult task and one which requires the best of both 
The Atlantic ships and men. Many Canadian sailors are from 
the Prairies, and few have had previous naval experience, yet they have 
proven themselves capable of carrying out this important part in the Battle 
of the Atlantic, and great credit is due to them, as well as to the workers | 
who have produced the ships which they man. It is clear that Canada| 
now occupies a place of importance as a naval power and that it is play- 
ing no small part in the hastening of an Allied victory. It is expected that 
there will be little reduction in the strength of the navies of the Allied 
Nations in the years following the war, and we may look forward with 
interest to the future of the Canadian Navy.

LEAGUE OF CANADA, 
THE MINERALS IN OUR DIET 


HEALTH 


We hear a great deal about vitamins in our diets these days but we 
must not forget the mineral content of our food. The minerals are im- 
portant in the proper formation of our bones, teeth and body tissues, When 
of minerals these parts of the body are 


we have an insufficient amount 

weakened or diseased. Calcium is necessary for blood clotting and for 
strong bones and teeth. Phosphorus is responsible for a healthy nervous 
system. Iron is necessary for the formation of the red blood pigment and 


it protects us against nutritional anemia, Copper aids in the utilization of 
iron 

Milk is our richest source of calcium and we should include three 
glasses of it in our daily diet. Cheese has a higher percentage of calcium 
than milk as it is @ more concentrated food, so if we could add a small 
amount of cheese to our daily menus it would be to our advantage; cheese | 


is an excellent meat substitute. Other foods we should eat for their calclum 


content are beets, turnips, cauliflower, carrots, celery, asparagus, and beans. 
When we take milk for calcium we will also get a fair amount of 
phosphorus. Lean meats, fish, eggs, cheese, nuts and whole wheat cereals! 


contain appreciable amounts of phosphorus 

Liver, pork or beef, is an excellent source of iron so we should be on! 
the lookout for new appetizing recipes for cooking it. Other organ meats 
such as heart, kidneys, sweet breads are also high in iron, Dried peas 
and beans, eggs and molasses @re good sources of iron 

We will get sufficient copper from many common foods. 

The lack of fodine causes goitre which is found in the inland provinces. | 
Nowadays it is possible to buy table salt which has iodine added to it so 
we should use iodized salt all the time especiaNy when we have little or 
no salt water foods, 

We should bake and steam vegetables not only for the vitamin preserva- 
tion but also for the mineral content. Because a certain amount of the 
latter is lost in the cooking water we should cook vegetables in ag little 
boiling water as possible and for as short a time as possible. Never throw 
the water away! You can use it for making cream soups, gravies, and 
sauces You should boil leafy vegetables about 5-10 minutes, root vege- 
tables such as ‘turnips, parsnips, carrots 20-30 minutes, beets as much as 
45 minutes depending on their size. 

A post card request to the Western Division Health League of Canada, | 
111 Avenue Road, Toronto, will bring you a free copy of its authoritative | 
vitamin chart.

Aircrew Training 


Men From Various Parts Of The 
World Make Up The Student Body 


A navigator who saw action against 
the Japs in the Aleutians, three sol- 
diers who returned to Canada for 
aircrew training, two air force ser 
geants and an airframe mechanic, all 
repatriated to Canada for pilot train- 
ing, Englishmen, Welshmen, Scotch- 
men, an American and one Irishman 
from Eire, make up an unusual class 
of student pilots at No. 19 Element- 
ary Flying Training School, Virden, 
Man. It is a significant picture of 
just what the British Commonwealth 
Air Training Plan means. 

Hailing from Arborg, Man., Flying 
Officer Len Shebeski, who has re- 
mustered from a navigator to a pilot, 
spent a year in Alaska on bombing 
missions against the Japs in the 
Aleutians. “The men of my squadron 
were flying and working under ad- 
verse conditions but morale was very 
high,” observed Flying Officer She- 
beski when interviewed. “In a year 
of close contact with squadron mem- 
bers, I never heard an angry word 
spoken between the men.” Shebeskti 
lived on a farm with his parents for) 
23 years, taking a prominent part in 
activities in the Arborg district. An 
enthusiastic agriculturist and grad- 
uate of the University’ of Manitoba, 
he won the Canada Malting Cup at) 
the Provincial Seed Show in 1936 and} 
the Ian McPhail Trophy (Junior Seed | 
Growers), 1937. At the University of | 
Manitoba he won the Lieutenant-Gov- | 
ernor’s Gold Medal in 1941. A sister, | 
Rose Shebeski, serves in the Canadian | 
Women's Army Corps.

| To the old adage, “Make Hay While} 


the Sun Shines,”’ modern science has 
} added the indication farmers should 
do their haying in the afternoon. 

Preliminary studies at New York 
State Agriculture college, reported 
by Prof. Otis F. Curtis, show the food 
content of alfalfa and other hay and 
| forage crops is influenced by the 
time of day at which they are cut. 

The reason, he explained, is that 
all carbohydrates are manufactured 
by plants from carbon-dioxide and 
water only in the presence of light, 
land “it stands to reason, as the tests 
have shown, that the plant tissues 
; contain the most food after a full

TENNIS IS A GOOD GAME AND 
FINE EXERCISE 


Tennis Exhilarating 


Now at last the summer season is 
here and the opportunity for play- 


ing outdoor games. Tennis is fun 
and most exhilarating. The exercise 
is good for you and your keenness of 
spirit will develop. 

Tennis is a game for all ages, unless 
of course, your doctor has advised 
against exercise. Young and old find 
it thrilling and stimulating competi- 
tion packed with enjoyment for all. 

Exercise in the open air, combined 
with fun—that is tennis! Could any- 
thing be more healthful or desirable? 
And anyone with perseverance and 
enthusiasm for the game can learn 
to play. 

It is quite true that to become a 
tennis champion requires speed and 
a high degree of endurance. But not 
all want to become champions, The 
majority prefer to play the game for 
the game's sake, making it as mild 


|or as strenuous as we choose.

NAZI U-BOAT CREWS 
SHOW MENTAL STRAIN 


Like To Stay in Port And Deliberately 

Slow Down Repairs And Overhauls 

Piecing together scattered bits of 
information obtained in Sweden and 
London, Nat A. Barrows, correspond- 
ent of the Chicago Daily News, finds 
evidence that U-boat crews are be- 
ginning to show the effects of hard- 
ships and mental strain by deliber- 
ately slowing down repairs and over- 
hauls as one way of keeping in port 
longer. 

Workmen in submarine bases both 
in Norway and France tell how the 
German crews hold up repairs by 
enticing them into card games, hid- 
ing tools and getting in the way 
when work is actually going on. Eye- 
witnesses who have visited these sub 
pens recently say that U-boat men 
are developing open signs of distaste 
and dread going back to sea for 
more punishment inside the cramped, 
stuffy compartments. 

It is not rebellion against rigid 
naval discipline so much as early in- 
dications of possible breakdown in 
morale. In the First World War the 
same indications foreshadowed the 
German saturation point {n under- 
sea hardships. 

Along with this slowing down of 
port repairs by their own crews is 
the significant admission by one Ger- 
man naval writer, Adm. Gadow, in 
the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung that 
the Battle of the Atlantic is going 
against Germany and that “it is more 
and more difficult for U-boats to at- 
tack convoys.” In his attempt to 
console the German public over the 
fact that U-boat sinkings are de- 
creasing, Gadow explains that Adm. 
Karl Doenitz “surely has something 
new up his sleeve.” 

The Germans probably have not 
been allowed to know what Prime 
Minister Churchill told the House of | 
Commons: that the first week of 
June established a record for reduced 
Allied losses by U-boats. 

Gadow is trying to prepare ‘the 
way for the ultimate discovery of this 
fact by writing that German scien- 
tists soon are going to find a new 
way for increasing U-boat perform- 
ance. 


Can All Be Used 


Collection Of Odds And Ends 
Help Win War 

This may sound strange but wo- 
men and pack-rats have one thing in 
common. Both bustle about collect- 
ing odds and ends to store away for 
a rainy day which usually never 
comes and which wouldn't be bright- 
ened much by the kind of knick- 
knacks they collect anyway. 

If you've always had acquisitive 
tendencies, if you’ve spent a lot of 
time packing away more than fie, 
troubles in some old kit bag, then 
lsten this this. That rainy day has 
come at last. 

All the snips of material, the bits 
of string, the worn out clothes you've 
hidden away, can be put to a far more 
constructive use than you ever im-t 
agined. They can help win the war. 

So go through your bags, your 
dresser drawers and closets and 
scrape up all the scraps you can. 
Nobody. wants you to give away any- 
thing you or some member of your 
family might use. It's patriotic to 
hang on to old clothes that can be 
revamped so you won't have to buy 
new ones. But be relentless about the 
rest. 

That bit of silk you bought and 
never made into a party dress for 
your daughter; the children’s bath- 
ing suits long since outgrown; old 
sets of table linens—they can ralse 
money for war relief, can comfort a 
hospital patient, or make a dress for 
a refugee child. 

Sheets and towels, pillow cases and 
tablecloths have a way of collecting 
in every household. The sheets be- 
come torn and you put them away for 
future mending. The towels wear 
thin, the tablecloths acquire an un- 
sightly stain, or a ruinous cigarette 
burn. 

Besides, and this is the important 
thing, hospitals can use those worn 
linens for bandages. Time and use 
soften the fibres, making them ab- 
sorbent. And the more second hand 
linen they receive the more new ma- 
terial is released to care for soldiers 
in army and navy hospitals and 
through the Red Cross. 

TROUBLE WITH SPELLING 

In any typical newspaper office, 
says the Detroit News, 87 man-hours 
are lost yearly running to the dic- 
tionary for the spelling of bacca- 
laureate. Except in the graduation 
season, we never had much trouble 
with that, states the Ottawa Citizen; 
but our fellows find it hard to re-

According To Census | 


Greater Number Of Unmarried Men 
Than Women In Canada 


The Dominion bureau of statistics 
has reported that final census figures 
showed single persons constituted 
54.1 per cent. of Canada’s population 
of 11,506,655 in 1941, that Quebec 
showed the largest number of single 
persons in proportion to population 
and British Columbia the highest 
ratio of married persons. 

The bureau said married persons 
accounted for 41.2 per cent. of the 
Dominion's population in 1941, 
widowed 4.6 per cent. and divorced 
0.1 per cent. In 1931, 57.4 per cent. 
of the population was enumerated fs 
single and only 38.3 per cent. as mar- 
ried. ‘ 

The actual increase in the num- 
ber of married persons amounted to} 
764,953 or 19.3 per cent., while the) 
;number of single persons showed a 
|much smaller increase over 1931 of 
| 279,156, or only 4.7 per cent. 
| Single persons of all ages repre- 
sented 60.3 per cent. of the popula- 
tion of Quebec, and married persons 
35.7 per cent. In British Columbia, 
47.8 per cent. of the population was 
married, and only 46.5 per cent. 
single. Ontario also showed a large 
proportion of married persons, with 
45.1 per cent. of the population 
enumerated as married and 49.4 per 
cent. as single. 

All provinces showed an increase 
in the number of married persons 
since 1931. The number of single per- 
sons, however, declined in Manitoba 
| and Saskatchewan, and showed only 
slight relative increases in Ontario 
and Alberta. |

that their rapid increase might be 
impressively shown. They increased 
jexceedingly in numbers during the 
;centuries between Jacob and Moses, 
until they were numerically a great 
nation. 

“Of the seventy, sixty-eight were 
males. If to the direct descendants 
| of Jacob we add the wives of his sons 
and grandsons, and the husbands of 
the daughters and granddaughters, 
| and all their servants with their fam- 
ilies, it appears that the total num- 
ber of those who entered Egypt was 
| very considerable, several hundreds 
if not thousands. This fact, as well) 
as the acknowledged prolificness of 
|the Hebrew nation, serves to account! 
for their rapid increase in Egypt. At 
{the time of the Exodus they must} 
have numbered about three million.” 
(Dummelow). ' 

The Grievous Oppression of the | 
Israelites, Exodus 1:8-14. Now (sev-| 
eral centuries after Joseph's death) 
there arose a new king over Egypt 
who knew not Joseph. In Joseph's | 
time Egypt was ruled by an Asiatic | 
dynasty called the Hyksos, or Shep- 
herd Kings. They were finally ex-| 
pelled and native rulers came to the} 
throne. It was under one of this new | 
dynasty that the Israelites were so) 
oppressed. | 

God’s Concern for the Oppressed, | 
Exodus 2:23-25. In process of time | 
the king of Egypt died, but his death | 
brought no relief to the children of 
Israel whose bondage continued, who | 
sighed and groaned in their affliction 
and cried to God for relief. And God 
heard, and remembered his covenant, | 
and God saw the children of Israel, 
and God took knowledge of them. |

Paper-Based Plastics 


Waste Paper Plays A Most Important 
Part In The War 


Waste paper is helping the R.A.F. 
in hundreds of ways. The amazing 
Mosquito aircraft, for instance; alter- 
nate layers of wood and specially 
treated paper form the ply which is 
largely used to build these machines. 

Even doors and tables are now 
made from layers of a low grade 
type of corrugated paper, sprayed 
with resin and covered by an ex- 
tremely thin sheet of wood. The 
navigator’s table and compartment 
doors of some aircraft are con- 
structed of this material. 

Paper-based plastics are also play- 
ing an important part in aircraft and 
electrical construction, sometimes re- 
Specially processed 
paper produces this plastic material 
which is used to construct seats for 
fighter aircraft and a host of elec- 
trical components for tanks, planes 
and ships. 

In the world of electricity, paper, 
owing to its non-conducting pro- 
perties, is in ever increasing demand. 


| War necessitates the use of many 


thousands of miles of cable, much of 
it insulated with paper. 

These are only a few of the war 
jobs done by paper. To them should 
be added the millions of shell cases, 
bomb containers, washers, interior 
components of mines, the production 
of which uses thousands of tons each 
week. 

Who can doubt the need for string-

the necessity for salvaging even the

First Canadian | 
Congress Is Held 
By Ukrainians 


Winnipeg. — The first all-Canada 
Ukrainian Congress in its resolutions 
Passed unanimously at the closing 
session, appealed to Ukrainian Cana- 
dians to continue to make ceaseless 
efforts for an early and decisive vic- 
tory for the Allied Nations and went 
on record as being opposed to all 
forms of totalitarianisms and all they 
stand for. 

The total number of delegates who 
attended the congress was 715 men 
and women, of which number about 
100 attended as guests. 
7P. Lazarowich, of’ Edmonton, pre- 
sented the resolutions. 

Expressing explicit confidence in 
leadership of constituted authorities, 
a resolution said, “this congress 
stands pledged to be “ever ready and 
calls upon every Canadian, particu- 
larly represented by this congress, to 


fall in line and give the utmost sup-| 


port on every call by those in author- 
ity.” 
The resolution opposing totalitar- 


janism further said “that Ukrainian | 
Canadians stand shoulder to shoulder | 


with other Canadians, and be ever 
ready to put forth every effort to 
prevent the infiltration of any part 
of totalitarian philosophy into our 
policy, during the present war and 
during the post-war reconstruction. 

The forbears of Ukrainian Cana-| 
dians have been traditionally a demo- | 

cratic people, whereas totalitarianism, 
be it Nazism, Fascism or Commun- 
ism, is the very antithesis of demo- 
cratic principles.” 

A four-point resolution on th 
winning of peace said that in the in- 
terest of a durable world peace and 
stability it was necessary to recog- 
nize the fundamental principles of 
fieedom for all peoples and nations; 
that the great Allied leaders have 
approved of the principles of the At- 
lantic charter and the four freedoms, 
and that it was a duty of every Cana- 
dian citizen to exercise his democratic 
privilege in a united effort that these 
principles be observed. 

This congress takes an active in- 
terest in the application of the prin- 
ciples: 

1, The right of all 
choose a form of government under} 
which they will live. 

2, That changes must accord with | 
the freely expressed wishes of the 
people concerned. 

3. The establishment of a peace 
which will afford to all nations the 
means of dwelling in safety within 
their own boundaries and which will 
afford assurance that all the men in 
all the lands may live out their lives 
in freedom from fear and want. 

4, That the Ukrainians should re 
ceive equal treatment with other 
recognized nations, as a free and 
united member in the family of Euro- 
pean nations. 


eo 


Congress urged all Ukrainian 
Canadians to give their uninterrupted 
services in all branches of essential 
war work and food production, and 
that every participant of the con- 
gress offer leadership to Canadians of 
Ukrainian origin in sending to our 
fighting men comforts and assistance, 
and that support be given to the 
Canadian Red Cross and auxiliary 
war agencies. 

A tribute was paid to all Canadians 
who have given their lives in defence 
of Canada and for a_ better world. 
This resolution said that through the 
Ukrainian religious and social organ- 
izations, and the press, assistance in 
re-establishment and _ readjustment 
of bereaved homes and families should 
be extended to all who are in need.

P.F.R.A. For All | 
Provinces Has 
Been Suggested 


Ottawa.—Application of provisions | 
‘of the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation! 
Act to all Canada and the immediate 
survey of Canada’s national resources 
with the object of providing employ- 
ment and promoting a better balanced 
economy were the principal recom- 
mendations in an interim report of | 
the House of Commons construction 
and re-establishment committee, 
tabled in the House of Commons by 
Gray Turgeon (Lib., Cariboo), com- 
| mittee chairman. 

The committee’s work is continu- 
ing but it submitted suggestions 
| agreed upon so far to permit early 
| action. 
| “Our studies have convinced us 
|that in many respects Canada’s agri-| 
cultural life would be greatly im-| 
proved if the general provisions of 
the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act 
could be applied to all Cannada,”’ the 
committee reported. 

That act, passed when the prairie 
provinces were suffering acutely from | 
drouth and price depression, provides 
for federal assistance in soil sur- 


veys, 
servation projects like stock-water- 
ing dams and irrigation systems, in 
taking sub-marginal land out of pro- 
duction, in creating community pas- 
tures, and in educating farmers in 
scientifically tested methods of opera- 
tion for particular conditions. 

“Your committee feels that a 
proper survey of Canada’s natural 
resources should be undertaken now,” 
the committee reported, “in order to} 
ascertain the nature and extent of| 
such resources, their location with} 
respect to existing transportation | 
facilities, their suitability for post-| 
war requirements of the Canadian 
people, and for post-war industrial 
development and settlement, with the 
|dual purpose of providing post-war 
employment and a _ better balanced 
Canadian economy. | 
| New relations must be established 
| between government and industry and 
| between management and labor with- 
|in industry, the committee reported, 
It, said it proposed to present a later 
report on this subject. 

Further study is being given to 
the fishing industry, to the coal in- 
dustry, and to agriculture. 

“Your committee is strongly of the 
opinion that every member of the 
armed forces and the merchant navy 
is entitled to be assured that parlia- 
ment and government will be pre- 
pared to do what lies within their 
| power to prevent any recurrence of

the report.

Plan To Build One Hundred 


Modern Cities After The War 


On Site Where 


London Stands 


(By Ralph Allen) 


LONDON.—TIf town

This is what Profe Leslie 


What Professor A 


is important, becau is Great Bri- 
tain’s most expert advocate of a 

national face lifting after the war 

For 30 years he } nade the study 
f sidential, industrial and traffic, 
development his full time job. 


He holds the chair of town planning | 


ut the University of London. He sat, 
the Barlow Royal Commission, one 
f the three official mmittees that 


have recently investigated the Frank- 
isteins of misdirect in population, 
ranufacture and iculture, and 
found that something drastic must be! 


done about them in a hurry. As ad 
viser on planning to London's muni-| 

pal government, the London County 
il, he soon will ike important 
z mmendations on the physical fu 
ture of the Empire's itest city 

Prof. Abercrombie cannot make his 
report public before L.C.C, has} 
had a cha to look it over, but in 
a recenf\interview he explained some | 
of the personal convictions and the | 
personal aspirations for Great Bri-| 
tain that will help to shape its pro- | 
posals 


“Bombs, slums and the accumulated 
waste of centuries of bad planning 
or no planning at all will make it nec 


essary after the war to surround 
London with at least 20 new cities,” 
he said. “These cities should have 


a population of roughly 50,000*each 
and ought to be within a radius of [ 
25 miles of London itself in order to| 
remain within the central marketing 


| 
and transport area | 


| 


“Along with the million Londoners 
who should be transplanted to them, 
many of the factories that now sup- 
port the urban population will have 
to be shifted. In the rest of the is 
land it been 80 | 
more such ‘satellite’ 
needed to solve the parallel problems 
of congested centres like Birmingham, 
Manchester and Liverpool.” 

Bold and costly as it sounds, Prof. 
Abercrombie insists that his concept 
of total war against “The Beast” of 
sloppy land development can be jus 


suggested that 
will

| 


tified on any grounds from humanity 
to cash. 


“Whether he | 


we like it or not,” 


said, “we face a tremendous period 
of physical reconstruction. The ques- 
ti n we have to decide is whether | 
we're going to carry it through as 
individuals or as a nation. Working 


from a national pattern will not in 
total cost, but it will bet 


crease the

He suggested two possible applica

Because virtually every member of | 
Britain's adult population shares this | 
last belief, town and country plan-| 
ning is one of the livest issues in the 
country. The government recognizes | 
it as one of its first peacetime duties, | 


and has said so 

Labor Minister Ernest Bevin has! 
,estimated that 1,250,000 workmen } 
will be kept busy in the building! 
trades for at least 10 vears after the 
war. But the cabinet, with other 
things demanding priorities on its)

their say before physical planning 


can approach the stage of operations. |

'A New And Compact Sea-Rescue 


Radio Transmitter Is A Step 
Forward In Saving Our Airmen 


HE rescue of 19 victims of an Atlantic torpedoing was swiftly accom- 
plished recently through the delivery, by parachute, of a little device 


that weighed less than 20 pounds. 


It looks like the coffee grinder that 


used to be a familiar sight in grandma's kitchen, or a portable radio with a 
Mae West shape and a coating of vivid orange paint; but it is an instrument 
that is making a tremendous contribution to the lives of airmen of the 


R.C.A.F. 

“It” is the new, compact, sea-rescue 
radio transmitter which is now in 
use by the R.C.A.F. It is one more 
step towards perfecting the system of 
bringing swift aid to airmen who have 
been forced down at sea or in isolated 
land areas. That it is doing its job 
is well testified to by reports such as 
that of the 19 survivors. Located by 
a rescue aircraft, they were dropped 
a transmitter; shortly afterwards 
they were found by a Canadian de- 
stroyer which had picked up the dis- 
tress signal which punctuated the 
ether with its insistent SOS. 

The set, described by newsmen as 
the “Coffee Grinder” is @ small, in- 
genious, waterproof and completely 
foolproof radio transmitter, capable 
of sending a signal up to 150 miles. 
It derives its nickname from its ap- 
pearance, strongly reminiscent of an 
old time coffee grinder—-but the 
sturdy crank grinds no beans; it) 
whirls the generator which powers 
the effective little machine. 


It’s wasp-waisted shape is specially 
designed so that the set rests easily | 
between the knees of the operator, | 
held fast by a broad canvas strap. 

No knowledge of radio is required 
|to operate this latest instrument of 
sea-rescue, and in this respect it is 
absolutely foolproof. If you can turn 
the crank, you can send an SOS. The 
dial on the front of the transmitter | 
can be set so that an automatic SOS) 
signal is sent out when the crank is 
turned. If the operator knows his 
code, he can send out a complete 
message, and for this a built-in tele-| 
graph key is provided. If the oppor 
tunity to make a contact by visual | 
signal arises, this situation is neatly | 
taken care of. A signal lamp is in- 
cluded, and like the code signal, can | 
be set for an automatic SOS or oper-| 
ated by the key, like an aircraft's | 
Aldis lamp. The signal lamp can be 
strapped on to the operator’s head, 
to leave his hands free. 

The unit is complete in every detail 
from the parachute to float it down | 
to the sea, to an ingenious built-in 
aerial which is one of the factors con- |, 
tributing to the set's power and 
range, The transmitter itself is pack- 
ed in a canvas bag which carries the 
parachute, and attached to that is a 
cylindrical tube which contains all 
|the accessories. These include two 


box kites for lifting the aerial aloft 
if a wind is blowing, and two balloons 
which are filled with hydrogen to take 
the aerial up in still weather. Where 
do you get the hydrogen? Easy— 
generators are supplied, which, when 
lowered into the sea will make enough 
hydrogen to inflate the balloons to a 
diameter of four feet. 


The box kites would be a small 
boy’s delight. They're collapsible, 
made of a water repellent material 
and will carry the aerial aloft in a 
seven to fifty mile an hour wind. The 
aerial itself is wound on a reel which 


has a brake to control the speed of 
the ascent. It is built right into the 
transmitter. 

With its 300 foot antenna climbing 
skyward the diminutive transmitter 
can send forth its distress signal as 
long as the sender can turn the 
crank. A special system of lights in- 
dicate the right speed at which to 
turn the crank and to “tune” the set 


jinto the correct frequency, which is 


| the international distress signal wave 
| length. From this signal, listeners 
}{n coastal stations, ships and. air- 
|eraft, can determine the position of 
|the dinghy, and send swift rescue 
| ships and aircraft to the scene, The 
| transmitter will be carried on all 
larger aircraft and planes on sea- 
rescue patrol. When a dinghy is 
sighted without a sea-rescue set 
aboard, one is dropped by parachute 
and the man in the dinghy can signal 
to give a clue to his position, When 
crews are equipped with the device, 
they are able to establish immediate | 
contact and reduce to a minimum the 
time spent at sea, 

The adoption of this latest aid to 
swift sea rescue means much to air- 
men of the R.C.A.F., will reduce con- 
siderably the potential number of 
“dinghy hours” at sea, and will be 
welcomed by fliers who have had the 
experience of floating around for 
many hours before being spotted and 
eventually picked up. 


Early Hawalian chiefs often were 
physical giants, weighing 300 to 600

{statue to Miss Nightingale. 


Only One In Canada 


Vancouver General Hospital Training 
Schoo! Has Florence Nightingale 
Collection 

The letter is written on pale blue 
paper in Florence Nightingale’s leg- 
ible hand. Dated Feb. 8, 1888, it de- 
scribes a coffee-house which she in- 
tended to establish for the purpose of 
enticing men away from the pubs. 

The letter is part of a Florence 
Nightingale collection—only one of 
its kind in Canada—which was pre- 
sented to the Vancouver General Hos- 
pital School of Nursing by Miss Grace 
Fairly, former superintendent at the 
school. 

Florence Nightingale knew her 
men. She knew she must make her 
counter-attraction good. ‘In all 
coffee-rooms which have really an- 
swered and attracted the men I have 
known," she wrote, “there has always 
been some lady who has gone in on 
occasional evenings and entertained 
them. The best managed coffee- 
house in London is controlled by two 
women. They have plenty of influ- 
ence over a very rough lot. She thinks 
of the coffee quality too. I would 
promise: ‘Let the coffee be good’.” 

Photographs and mementos of the 
first British war nurse are also in- 
cluded in the collection which was 
brought back by Miss Fairley on 
various trips to England. 

Included is the “Statements of 
Voluntary Contributions received by 
Miss Nightingale for the use of Bri- 
tish Hospitals in the East, 1854-56.” 
Among the contributions are listed: 
Barrels of beer, raspberry vinegar, 
Welsh wigs, remedy for frost bite and 
Lady Southwick's gift of “The Shel- 
tering Vine,” written by the lady 
herself. 

In a London auction Miss Fairley

Further 
search netted the statue itself. Only 
three of these statuette groups—done 
by Mr. Punch's designs—are in ex- 
istence. Miss Fairley has now pre- 
sented one of these to the Vancouver 
General Hospital training school.

Speaking to the National Council 
of Women of Canada recently, Hon. 
J.L. Isley, minister of finance, re- 
lated the wartime budget of the aver- 
age housewife to the budget as a 
whole, and appealed to Canadians to 
lend as much as possible and spend 
is little as possible, 

If every woman would work out a 
budget for herself and her family in 
which the amount spent on non-es-

lit would help reduce the danger of

the way in which they have aided the 
government in fighting off inflation, 
he continued, “the organized opinion 
of women igs a very powerful factor 
in our national life, I would like to 
see the people of this country so com- 
mitted to the custom of spending less 
that it would almost be considered a 
social blunder to buy anything un- 
necessary or non-essential, Women are 
the only people who can bring this 
about.” 

By popularizing the idea of spend- 
ing less you serve Canada in two 
ways, Mr, Ilsley stated—you aid in 
the fight against inflation and you 
make available more money in Can- 
ada to use in the fight against our 
enemies, 

Appealing to the women for help 
in his most costly of all wars, he 


asked that women establish a social 
code which frowns on waste and un- 


necessary spending, and secondly that 
they help in the problem of conserva. 
tion of Victory Bonds and War Sav- 
ings Certificates. 

“For six weeks every year,” said 
Mr. llsley, “Canadians are asked to 


buy Victory Bonds, and during the 


rest of the year War Savings Stamps 
and Certificates. Women have re- 


peals, The many novel and ingenious | 
methods used by women in the sale; 
of Stamps and Certificates have been | 
a source of inspiration to others, and 
I would like to urge that we do not 
relax our efforts in any of these fields, 
There is a limit to the amount of 
money we can raise by taxation, We 
wish to hold bank borrowings to a 
minimum, The only alternative is to 
borrow from the Canadian people 
themselves.” 

Canadians have bought more than 
$77 millions War Savings Certificates | 
in the last 12 months, Mr, Ilsley said, | 
This represents a considerable saving 
in small amounts, the small amounts 
that constitute the most dangerous el- 
ement of spending, Of that $77 mil- 
lions, however, over $24 million have 
been redeemed. Urging that Cana- 
dians hold their purchases of bonds 
and certificates at least for the dura- 
tion, he stated that both bonds and 
certificates are sold without restric- 
tion as to redemption or sale by the 
owner, 

“Anyone can get his money back, if | 
and when he wants it”, continued Mr. 
Iisley, “That guarantee will al $ 
hold good but, I would again like 
men to set a fashion, that it is not th: 
thing to do to lend your money to 
the government today, and take it 
back tomorrow, In the case of an em- 
ergency where no other means can b 
found to raise the necessary funds, it 
is a justifiable step, but to withdraw 
support of the country to buy non- 
ess ; is to build a two-fo'd stum- 
bling block in our path.”

Pests—and a Reminder 

Practically every plant, wild o: 
cultivated, is subject to fungus 
and insect attack, 100% health i 
is rare in plants as it is in men. 

When introducing new crops, \ 
usually have a good idea of tl 
diseases and insects which may cans¢ 
trouble, but we cannot forecast th 
severity of attacks, Furthermor 
control measures practised elsewher 
may not be practicable or effectiy 
in our own region. 

This year, we are concentrating 
good deal of attention on oil cro 
notably flax, sunflowers, Argenti 
rape and soybeans, The Dominion 
Entomological Laboratory at Briar 
don is anxious to secure all possil\c 
information on insects found on the 
above crops. Growers of these cro} 
are urged to be on the lookout, 
especially for flea beetles (on rape) 
and the sunflower moth, Please send
